I think this might belong in Math::, since numbers with uncertainities are not necessarily statistical values. a single scientific measurement, for instance, has an attached uncertainity, and you might have to add that to another, similar number. As far as I know the arithmetic rules are the same either way. Once you have the modules in math, you could build on them to create specific modules in Statistics::*. -- brian d foy (one of many PAUSE admins), http://pause.perl.org
